Page 3: Introduction
JR CCPM Academy of Model Aeronautics 5151 East Memorial Drive To take the Venture's design to the next level, JR’s designers turned to CCPM Muncie, IN 47302 (Cyclic/Collective Pitch Mixing). CCPM is a unique control system that mounts (317) 287-1256 three servos below the swashplate with short, straight linkages directly to the swashplate at 120 degree intervals. -

Most current JR Heli radio systems (XP652, XP8103 w/digital trims, 10X, as well as older 10 series systems) are equipped with 120° CCPM electronics for use with the JR CCPM machines. Radios you may be flying now, like the X347, X388S, XP783, and XP8103* have CCPM capability built in, but require activation by the Horizon Service Department. -

Page 17: Understanding Swashplate Control Systems
UNDERSTANDING SWASHPLATE CONTROL SYSTEMS Currently, there are several different types of control systems available on the market. Although the mechanical methods for transferring control to the swashplate vary, the different control systems can be broken down into two categories: One-Servo (Conventional) CCPM (Cyclic/Collective Pitch Mixing) The following is an explanation of the two most popular types of swashplate control. - Page 18 For JR radio owners, please refer to the radio information contained at the front of this manual or on the following page to determine if your radio system has the CCPM function. For other brands of radio systems, please contact the radio manufacturer for CCPM information.

Page 19: How Jr 120 Ccpm Works
HOW JR 120 CCPM WORKS JR 120° Three-Servo CCPM relies on the radio’s special CCPM swashplate mixing, rather than a conventional mechanical mixer that is utilized to achieve the same results. The radio’s 120° Three-Servo CCPM function automatically mixes the three servos to provide the correct mixing inputs for aileron (roll), elevator (pitch), and collective. -
Page 20: Ccpm Software Activation And Initial Adjustment
1. JR XP652/XP662 SYSTEMS The following activation and setup procedure should be used for all JR XP652 and XP662 systems. Please note that the XF622 and XP642 6-channel systems do not have the required CCPM software and therefore cannot be activated by the Horizon Service Center. - Page 21 2. JR XP8103/XP8103DT SYSTEMS The following activation and setup procedure should be used for all JR XP8103 and XP8103DT (digital trim) systems. Note: Some early XP8103 systems will require the activation of the CCPM software through the Horizon Service Center. It’s easy to identify if your system has the CCPM function activated by identifying if the “SWASH TYP”...
- Page 22 Note: The travel values shown for the rudder function are for use with Piezo type gyros, like the JR NEJ-900, NEJ-400, NEJ-450, or NEJ-3000 type gyros. If a conventional mechanical type gyro is used (JR 120, 130, etc.), then the travel value of the rudder channel will need to be reduced to approximately 100%.
- Page 23 4. JR X-378 SYSTEMS The following activation and setup procedures should be used for all JR X-378 systems. Prior to activating the CCPM function, it is first suggested that the Data Reset function be performed to reset the desired model number to be used back to the factory default settings.

Page 24: Important Ccpm Programming Guidelines
Minor travel value adjustments are necessary due to slight variations in servo travel and centering. Although the three servos may appear to travel at the same amounts in each direction, in reality the servos can vary slightly. This variation is more common in analog type servos. If JR’s new digital servos are used, the travel adjustment values will generally not need to be altered. -

Page 26: Ccpm Servo Centering With The Sub-Trim Function
CCPM SERVO CENTERING WITH THE SUB-TRIM FUNCTION As mentioned in the previous step, it may be necessary to make minor servo centering adjustments with the use of the Sub-Trim function to achieve the desired servo arm positions. Please refer to your particular radio’s section as listed below or consult your radio instruction manual for more information. - Page 27 AUX3 front servo. JR PCM10, 10S, 10SX, 10SXII, 10X SYSTEMS 1) Enter the Sub-Trim function (Code 15). 2) Adjust the left (aileron), right (AUX 1) and front (elevator) servos as needed until the servo arm is exactly parallel to the servo as shown when the collective stick is in the center position.

Page 29: Checking The Swashplate For Level
CHECKING THE SWASHPLATE FOR LEVEL After the three control linkages have been attached to the swashplate, it will be necessary to check the swashplate to ensure that it is level. To do this, turn on the radio system and place the collective stick in the center position as before. Next, check to make sure that all trim levers and knobs are also in their center position. -
Page 30: Pitch-To-Aileron Mixing Adjustment With Travel Adjust
This condition is generally more common when standard type servos are used. If JR digital servos are used, the adjustment required is generally very small, if any. These variations in travel can be corrected by altering the travel value of each servo slightly through the Travel Adjustment function. -
Page 31: Pitch-To-Elevator Mixing Adjustment With Travel Adjust
ADVANCED SETUP: PITCH-TO-ELEVATOR MIXING ADJUSTMENT WITH TRAVEL ADJUST (OPTIONAL) The total travel of each servo can vary slightly, which can also cause the swashplate to be tilted fore and aft when the collective is moved to the extreme high and low pitch positions. This situation can also be corrected if necessary through the use of the Travel Adjustment function. To check pitch-to-elevator mixing, it will first be necessary to position the collective stick in the center position as in the previous steps. -
